My name is Sylvia Akingbade, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have worked in the mental health field for over seven years, providing support to children, adults, and individuals who are elderly or living with disabilities. Through these years of experience, I’ve come to deeply understand that we all need someone to help us process life’s challenges. Sitting with people from all walks of life, I’ve realized that this work is more than a career—it’s my calling. I approach therapy with a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. CBT offers a collaborative framework where we work together to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, always keeping your goals at the forefront. Person-Centered Therapy allows you to take the lead in our sessions, creating a space that is driven by your needs and comfort level. I believe in meeting you where you are, with empathy and without judgment. In every session, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. You are in control of your journey, and I am here to guide and support you along the way. I believe that when we focus on you as a whole person, the path to healing becomes clearer. It takes courage to take the first step, and I encourage you to keep showing up—for yourself and for the growth you’re seeking. I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey.

Using a cognitive behavioral approach, I will work with you to help identify potentially problematic thought patterns that may be holding you back.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) here in Texas, with 6 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. After navigating some of my own personal life experiences—and knowing firsthand what it feels like to not always feel supported—I made it my mission to become the kind of person I wished I had during those times. Someone safe, steady, and genuinely present. Interestingly, even before I became a therapist, people naturally gravitated toward me to share their life stories. I’ve always cherished that. In fact, my name, Monica, actually means “advisor/counselor”—a reminder that this work has always felt like part of my identity. As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I’m here to be your co-pilot—walking alongside you as you explore, grow, and move toward healing. My style is interactive, compassionate, and grounded in mutual trust and collaboration. Also, I value humor, creativity, honesty, and authenticity in the therapy room. If you’re looking for a space where you can feel truly seen and supported, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
